His two films are noteworthy as well; &#8220;What Is a Woman?&#8221; has evolved beyond just an exploration of transgender issues to become a rallying point for critics of controversial gender theories.<\/p>\n<p>Walsh&#8217;s second film, &#8220;Am I Racist?&#8221;, which shares similarities in tone and content with his first but tackles another contentious topic, is also receiving positive attention within conservative circles while facing criticism from liberals.
